Re: [CTRL] Icke On FTAA

[Dale Stonehouse]

Although we need people like Icke to warn us of possibilities, some of us actually require something to happen before we start running around clucking like chickens. The fact that something bad MIGHT happen has been predicted for centuries. When does the fuse reach the bomb?     [It will, in fact, as Boy George well knows, destroy opportunities throughout America and the hemisphere as the transnationals move to the poorest countries and mercilessly exploit the population, who become nothing more than slaves to the corportations on starvation wages.    From whose perspective? Icke's, of course, not the actual people involved. Wonder what they have to say about it?  [So the USA won't be allowed in then?? What nonsense..."democracies" are some of the world's most grotesque and effective dictatorships.]     Yes. What is Icke's proposal for an alternative? Nothing, of course.  [There was no way these fears would not be confirmed. It is an essential part of the Illuminati structure for global control.]     Okay, the Illuminati want to hide their plans from us. But then they want us to know enough to be afraid. Sounds like the left hand doesn't know what the right hand....  [No one says trade is bad? Well I say that some trade is very bad, actually, when the dice are so loaded for rich against poor.]     When Icke stops collecting money for his books, videos and lectures, this argument may be more compelling. For now he is a part of the problem, just like the Bush family.    [Why do I cringe whenever I hear the name Sierra Club?]    Couldn't be ignorance, could it?  [In other words, it will mean giving up national and local decision making to a centralised dictatorship, just as we have in Europe.]   Once again Icke demonstrates his ignorance of what made the U.S.A. the greatest nation in the history of the world. Dictating increasing affluence and improved health care for third-world people is evil to him, I guess.
